Twizi how to guide to design your tosser

Step 1: get piece of paper
Step 2: get pencil
Step 3: make a nice design capable of a third grader
Step 4: stop being an idiot and use your brain

Like seriously dude if you don't know anything about design programs i doubt you wanna start here (not cause you guys don't know what your doing) but look at videos on a professionals opinion. Jesus Christ you can't use paint? im pretty sure that was designed even for the mentally impaired. Oh and by the way piston all the way because of versatility for different calibers.

No, search google.

I use the full version of flash, but you'll have to download it and then crack it illegally, which we can't discuss on the forum.

Search google for 'free GIF animation program'.

Take it easy pocket. You probably learned the same way.

I say you get a qev for starters, but if you think you can do it, a piston will be a good way to get experience. Once you go piston, you never go back. :P

Pretty stinking fast. :D

A 1/2" qev is overkill (very large) for a bb gun, but it will allow you to use larger barrels and heavier ammo in the future. :)

Paintball co2 tanks are closer to 3/8". They are semi compatible, but with a 3/8" die it makes it even better.

Twizi, somehow I think you're in way over your head here.

So you're saying you hooked up a co2 tank to a 1/2 coupling? What did you have pushing the schrader pin on the tank in to release the pressure?

You threaded a 1/2" coupling over a paintball tank? Without any threads on the tank?

Do you mean a coupling like this?

Or a brass nipple like this?
